Survival horror at its finest, Resident Evil 7 Biohazard was a fresh coat of paint for the franchise. A haunting, oppressive atmosphere that made use of quality sound design, with polished environments that were truly a pleasure to explore. Where it lacked in enemy types, it made up for with memorable boss fights and overall craziness. Seriously the wildest opening hour of any game, and it made me fall in love with the series all over again.

I loved it, through and through. The lack of weapons in the beginning worked in its favour, allowing the player to feel helpless, if only for a limited time. Also, Jack and Marguerite Baker are THE power couple.
